WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE IDEAL and the spring of 2011 appers to have produced another banner year class to bouy the fishery for years to come. That's great news for anglers who target walleyes at ports including Monroe, Luna Pier, and Toledo.

    Lake Erie Central Basin: What's good for the Western basin of Lake Erie is also good for the Central basin. The huge 2011 year class also occured in many parts of the central basin. BIOLOGIST ESTIMATE IT COULD BE THE LARGEST IN LAKE ERIE HISTORY. Walleyes that spawn in the western basin travel through the central basin during spring and fall. These transient and resident fish make for easy pickings at popular ports including Port Clinton, Huron, and Lorain.

    It would be nice if they wrer right. Not what I had heard previously though.
    I personally believe the 2011 walleye hatch survial was and is better than what the test trawls indicate. But there is no way that I feel the 2011 hatch and survival rate was or is the "LARGEST IN LAKE ERIE HISTORY" Probably more like 2010 which turned out much better than the trawls indicated at first. I felt this way, long before this article became available. I don't believe the ODNR would be keeping this a secret if the hatch was that great!!!
